magentarific | o9 :: Flood of Destiny

[voice]
Since the whole place is in shambles anyway, does anyone with building skill want to help me make a new building for a coffee house? I'm willing to work as long as whoever I'm working with actually knows what they're doing, because I don't.

[ A beat of silence before she completely changes gears. ]

Also: I've got a ref and at least two players signed up, but I want to hold a beach volleyball tournament when things are less wet! I'll need at least two people to wear bikinis and aprons to hand out refreshments and lots of participants.

{{ ooc: I got permission for Yuri to have a coffee shop, but since there's no place for one she'd have to build her own. Since she has no building skill, she needs help. The flood is like a sign from destiny, though. }}

[ At any point during the day after this post, one might find Yuri wandered around town looking for a good spot that she wants to set up shop. She's wearing something different than normal, a nice green coat that she'd received as a gift quite some time ago, and it almost looks as though she's about to give up--

No, she's just heading off to get out of some of the mess to take her socks off, since they're pretty much just getting covered in mud and mess anyway and making her a lot more uncomfortable than if she had bare legs. Sure, it might not be as warm, but it's not itchy at least. ]

How is it my fault at all?! [So very easily wound up.]

... Wait, that's really what a jinx is? [He's been in situations before where's he said he can handle it. And he hasn't handled it at all. Does that mean they're the same thing?!] Why wasn't I told about something this important sooner, geez.

Because you jinxed it!

That's exactly what a jinx is. Someone's been lacking on info sharing if you haven't.

I didn't jinx it! You can't jinx something when you don't know what a jinx is when you do it in the first place surely?!

Rubia and Azusa never taught me about that sort of thing, I mostly learn about the world, math, that sort of thing. None of this jinx stuff.

Well, you're learning about it now. And you definitely can jinx it. Jinxing occurs on accident, after all. If you do it on purpose it won't work. Like saying "There's no way I could get a million dollars" won't get you a million dollars. But if you have a million dollars and say "There's no way I could lose this in three days" it could totally happen.

Jinxing sounds really dumb. Why would I want a million dollars anyway? [What are dollars. Why would I want a million of them.]

It's just a lot of money.

Oh, right. So it would be like having a million gald. Sounds like a lot of money! [...] Too bad it's worth nothing here. Just as well if I jinxed myself here I wouldn't lose any gald from it.

It is money. I'd be willing to bet the minute you get home, now, you'll meet a master thief.

As if that would really happen! [Buuut just in case is doooes-] If any thieves show up and try to steal from me or any of my friends then I'll stop them no problem!

Jinxing yourself even more?

W-What?! No, I'm not jinxing myself! Can't I say I'll keep my friends safe from thieves and mean it instead of jinxing myself?!

You just have to say you'll try your hardest to or something, instead of saying it like an absolute. [ Probably ]

... Fine! I'll try my hardest to stop any thieves. But that means I might not be able to do anything if my hardest isn't good enough.

Well that'd be true anyway, right? If your hardest isn't good enough then you were bound to get your ass kicked.

Huh?! Wait, no, my hardest is definitely going to be good enough! I just meant if it wouldn't be-- Which it would because I could stop any thief no problem! But--!!

[Screw iiit.] I don't care if it's jinxing myself, I'm going to keep my friends safe and that's that!

Well if your hardest is good enough, then saying you'll try is just being humble about it instead of overconfident!

Look can we just start over? If there are ever any thieves I'll definitely stop them from hurting my friends. There, that's it, no jinxing or anything else!

[This whole conversation is kind of confusing him now...]

There aren't any do-overs!

[ She knows. If anything, it's amusing her. ]

Wha- Too bad, we're having a do-over!!

[Sob. Rude.]

You don't get do-overs with this kind of thing! It screws up the cosmic energy!

[ She doesn't even know what she's talking about anymore. ]

What does cosmic energy have to do with it?! Stop bringing up stupid things just for the sake of it!

[He mad.]

No, it's funny.

[ She's not even gonna deny it. ]

It's not funny at all, I'm not laughing!

[ >:( ]

Funny to me.

[ n_n ]

So what?! Are you laughing at me or something you shrew?!
